So before I found where to insert an alias on my Grio account, I created a second account for myself using my gmail address, as my phone defaults to that when sending emails. Now, I want to eliminate 2 memberships for myself and use the second email as an alias instead. But when I try to do that, Grio won't let me as that second address 'is already registered'. I deleted my gmail membership in our group and deleted my gmail grio account. but it still won't let me use that address as an alias for the account I really want to use-- this Comcast address. What am I missing? Or is this not possible now that I have registered that gmail address?

And secondly, this doesn't have to do directly with Grio, but is sort of related to the first issue. It was brought to my attention that a certain member did not appear to be part of tne group any longer since we transferred. When I went back to Y!G to see if he was still a member there on transfer day, he wasn't. But the strange part is that he doesn't show up in the activity logs as leaving or being banned or forcibly removed.. looking back 3 years! Yet, he was a thorn in many other members' sides up until quite recently. Like Keyser Soze, it's like he never even existed. How did he do this?

David, to clarify - you deleted your Groups.io account associated with your Gmail address.
And then you went to Account (top right corner under your name) in your other Groups.io account and tried to add that Gmail address as an email alias.?Right??

Frances
 

Correct. I get an error message then saying that the gmail address 'is already registered', and no alias is created on the Comcast membership.

Thank you.

Dave,

When I went back to Y!G to see if he was still a member there on
transfer day, he wasn't. But the strange part is that he doesn't show
up in the activity logs as leaving or being banned or forcibly
removed.. looking back 3 years! Yet, he was a thorn in many
other members' sides up until quite recently.
How about change of email address?

In the membership tab of the Y!Group's activity log, search for whatever email address you have for him. If that turns up a "Member changed email address" entry, search again for the new address. Repeat until you don't find any additional email addresses for that member.

You may find that he's still a member of the group under a changed address, or that he unsubscribed under a changed address.

If not that, then I don't know. Dysfunction of the Activity Logs is another possibility.

Actually, a person who is not in any group on any site, but understands the dynamic came up with the most likely solution: the member just totally deleted his Yahoo groups account. Yahoo wouldn't send out a 'left the group' message for a member that no longer exists in their computers. I was told 'Think like a computer, not like a human, and it all makes more sense.'

Dave,

... the most likely solution: the member just totally deleted his
Yahoo groups account.
Hmm... I seem to recall there being log entries for this case. "Left group via system" or some such.

I joined my test group with a test account, intending to test this by deleting the test account. But the test account's join doesn't show in the log (yet?). So that doesn't give me any confidence that I'd be able to tell what happened.

Too, the activity logs for Y!GMF appear to be entirely offline for me at the moment: no entries of any form. Sigh.

Yahoo wouldn't send out a 'left the group' message for a member that
no longer exists in their computers.
Maybe. But in prior days they were pretty good at logging all membership events, including removal by act of Customer Care - people who had their accounts deleted for cause (TOS violation) would show as removed in group logs.

But it has been so long since I've heard of a case where someone deliberately deleted their own Yahoo account that I can't say for sure if that was logged.
